The processing circuitry further configured to, responsive to the second IAB node being considered to be at least temporarily unsuitable for camping, cease to camp on the second IAB node for connection reestablishment.

Methods for controlling re-establishment of IAB nodes

A method where a first network node receives from a second network node a packet with a path identifier value in the header. A plurality of bearers associated with the path are determined based on the path identifier value and used to assign at least one resource to the packet before it is transmitted to a third network node based on the at least one resource.

Backhaul adaptation protocol path identity for fair scheduling in an integrated access backhaul node

Embodiments herein relate to, for example, a method performed by a source radio network node (), for handling communication in a wireless communications network, wherein the source radio network node is adapted to relay data packets between a first radio network node and a UE in the wireless communications network. The source radio network node () transmits to a target radio network node () a message relating to a cell selection and/or a handover for the UE, wherein the message comprises a first user plane indication, and wherein the first user plane indication is an indication of setting up a user plane communication or not for the UE.

A method performed by a first node. The first node operates in a communications network. The first node determines, based on a header of a packet, a first number of hops. The first number of hops are the hops the packet has to traverse in the communications network to reach a second node in the communications network. The header of the packet indicates a second number of hops between the second node and a third node in the communications network in a first path. The first node obtains a wired backhaul connection to a core network of the communications network from the third node. The first node then initiates routing the packet towards the second node based on the determined first number of hops.

The method further comprises establishing, at the second network node, the second connection with the terminal device based on the message. The second network node comprises a third connection established before the first connection failed. The first connection carries data transmitted in the third connection before the first connection failed, and the second connection carries data transmitted in the third connection after the first connection failed. The method for interference coordination utilizes duplicated transmissions to secure data transmission and to prevent data loss in an unexpected system failure.
